Reason: "In grass" and "on grass" are mostly the same thing. In_grass is better wording become it covers grass of any size, while on_grass requires that the grass be short.
Pose tags do not need to specify where they are taking place.
All dead grass is dry.
Colors of grass.
I like grass.

I would consider aliasing green_grass to grass, as that's the default.

Same, like red_blood being aliased to blood. It's the normal expected color for grass, resulting in green_grass being mostly the same results as grass if it were more fully tagged.

To my mind, they should be different things. If someone's feet are on some short grass like this, I don't think many people would say they're "in grass". And if someone's in some tall grass like this, I don't think people would say that's equivalently "on grass".

You guys are right, green_grass should probably be an alias.

That's what I thought at first too, but "[verbing] in/on/amongst the grass" are all common enough ways to phrase being on a lawn. I don't think any effort to separate them would be worth it, and out of the three "in" covers the most ground. Pun unintentional.
If the difference is useful enough to keep, then maybe in_tall_grass would work for the later example.

I would personally just remove the in_grass implications at that point. I wouldn't say someone sitting on grass to say they're "in" the grass per-se, they're just on the grass, unless the grass is significantly long enough to make it "in the grass".

Fix those issues and you'll have my vote.
